• Develop account strategies for key new nuclear prospects and customers.
• Develop and present tailored solutions for key prospects, partnering with Certrec subject-matter experts to deliver technically accurate proposals, presentations, demonstrations, statements of work, and RFP responses that clearly connect customer needs to measurable value.
• Maintain accurate opportunity, account, activity, and forecast information in the company’s CRM system.
• Develop pricing and proposal strategies with company leadership and negotiate commercial terms that support Certrec's business objectives.
• Maintain ongoing customer relationships following close, supporting onboarding, renewals, expansion, and cross-selling opportunities while ensuring commitments are documented and fulfilled.

Internal Collaboration

• Collaborate with technical, licensing, regulatory, project management, marketing, and executive teams to communicate customer requirements, market intelligence, competitive information, and emerging needs that may inform Certrec's products and services.
• Contribute to New Nuclear go-to-market strategy, sales forecasting, business reviews, and strategic planning.

Nuclear Licensing Knowledge

The ideal candidate will be familiar with the licensing and regulatory environment for new nuclear facilities, including several of the following:

• NRC licensing processes and regulatory frameworks.
• New plant licensing pathways, including early site permits, construction permits, combined licenses, and operating licenses.
• Advanced reactor and small modular reactor licensing considerations, including regulatory engagement and pre-application activities.
• Licensing and regulatory documentation, including safety analysis reports, licensing-basis documentation, regulatory commitments, and correspondence.
• Quality assurance, environmental review, and site characterization requirements.
• Licensing document management, configuration control, audit readiness, and operational program requirements.
• Stakeholder interactions among utilities, technology vendors, the NRC, contractors, and other organizations supporting new nuclear projects.

This is not intended to be a purely transactional sales role. Success requires the ability to understand complex nuclear licensing challenges and communicate credibly with the professionals responsible for them.
